It took Diakiese just thirty seconds to send Packalen into the world of unconsciousness at The 02 Arena on Saturday evening.

After opening up the contest with a pair of extravagant spinning kicks, Diakiese laid the trap for the Finnish fighter to over commit himself moving forward and he countered with a thunderous right hand to end the contest.

Packalen fell backwards onto the mat as if in slow motion, but he shouldn’t feel at all embarrassed by the way the contest ended.

He’s in good company when it comes to fighters having their lights turned out by the Englishman.

Lightning strikes three times for Diakiese

Knockout #1 – Rick Selvarajah – BAMMA 22 – 0:24 of Round 1

Knockout #2 – Kane Mousah – BAMMA 25 – 0:36 of Round 1

Knockout #3 – Teemu Packalen – UFC London 2017 – 0:30 of Round 1

A man who’s seen it all before from Diakiese is the current BAMMA commentator Chris Hoekstra who witnessed the Englishman throw two almost identical right hands while working his way up on the British domestic scene.

Hoekstra took to his Facebook page to remind everyone just how lethal Diakiese can be.

The first knockout came at BAMMA 22 when Diakiese finished Rick Selvarajah to defend his BAMMA lightweight title in September 2015 at the 3Arena in Dublin.

He then repeated the performance when he knocked out Kane Mousah at BAMMA 25 in 36 seconds in a performance almost identical to his most recent knockout.

No doubt Diakiese’s next opponent will be working out a gameplan to avoid his killer right hand, if they don’t they could well be the next victim.
